TYLER, Texas (KLTV) - For 13-year-old Ava, freedom can look a lot like a running start, a flip and a few seconds in the air.

Gymnastics is where Ava thrives, and we got to see her talents in action at Gym Tyler Gymnastics Center."I hope I'm on a gymnastics team one day," Ava says.

She describes the feeling she gets while tumbling as- "Probably just free. I can just be myself and not worry about nothing," she says.
